About Me

Hi! My name is Emily Nox, and I am a Software Engineer with 8 years of professional experience in various roles supporting the PlayStation Plus Cloud Streaming team, from automated testing PlayStation devkits to building containerized live-service web applications.

I began my career as a Junior SDET with Sony Interactive Entertainment back in 2016, where I specialized in building automated testing tools for communicating with and recording test data from PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 devkits.

I have since risen the ranks into web development, from Backend to Frontend, then Full Stack. There I focused on building beautiful, robust features while maintaining a CI/CD pipeline through GitLab for a seamless blue-green deployment strategy for an internal containerized web application built to provide internal developers a one-stop-shop for running, reporting, and tracking customized automated test performance metrics and statistics.

Want to learn more? Think I might be a good fit for your WebDev opportunity? I am currently seeking new employment and would love to hear from you! You can reach out to me via my LinkedIn profile or check out my GitHub repos for a deeper dive into my experience.
